    glow plug temperature switch

    I am not real sure of this, but I think running w/o that sensor can cause the plugs to overheat to the point of failure. I had put my rebuilt motor in and had damaged the original plug in the process, figured no big deal, just run w/o it until I get a new one, I ended up burning up a whole set...

    Smoother Ride?

    Yea, I figured the whole thing would be a DIY project, not something I plan on doing as the ride really does not bother me that much, even after a cpl back surgeries. It was just kinda a "hey, what if" moment. I never thought of uneven twisting being an issue, could make the whole thing no...

    Injector rebuild service...?

    I already have a 6.5l pump, my truck came with a 6.5l repower courtesy of Uncle Sam. The injectors I currently have are demension wise, exactly the same as the ones that came out of the 6.5l turbo I got for my rebuild

    Smoother Ride?

    I wonder with a welder and a little fabbing you could make a set of these work on the stock bench on an M1008 and other trucks? Just right off hand I would think maybe the tranny tunnel would get in the way...any other thoughts?

    36-3580 HD HEADLIGHT HARNESS Questions M1009

    topgun217, when you say you have a halogen on one GE on the other, are you referring to the maker of the bulb or the type of bulb? If they are different types, I bet you will see the problem follow the bulb if you follow Warthogs suggestion.

    Injector rebuild service...?

    I have decided I am going to give rebuilding my injectors a try, I took a spare I had apart today and they are crazy simple inside! One question i do have is, the 96 turbo tips are $15 as apposed to $7 that Westech mentioned, still a heck of a deal. My question though, what is the difference...

    I need help w/6.5 turbo swap

    I rebuilt my 6.5l turbo and just ended up putting it back in N/A for now until I can afford to have the custom exhaust work done to keep the exhaust in the frame so I can add a 2nd fuel tank. As Westech said, either just switch intakes, IP, and the other few sensors these motors have and go from...

    CUCV Front Winch Mount

    I really like your idea, I agree with being able to put the shackles on and I had thought about the idea of one set of "mounts" or square tubing on the top of the mount and another set on the bottom. The reason for this is to allow the winch to be mounted on the front or rear of my truck, The...

    XM1027 - CUCV Crew Cab Build

    Wow Tim, sounds like you know MUCH more about peltiers with high power applications than I do!
